This is actually the art installation of Chris Larson, a native of Minnesota, where of course no one is a stranger to a little chill. A few years ago in his hometown of St.Paul, he decided to build this small cabin, and then waited for winter when the temperatures drop as low as -13 °C/ 7 °F . He then proceeded to spray it with hundreds of gallons of water, resulting in this apocalyptic scene. You know, just because ⦠Winter is Coming! Oh, and he called it âDeep Northâ. The Ice Age came early for this Winter Cabin | Messy Nessy Chic
He might be needing that cabin sooner than he thinks. Oh, wait, you say he's an artist?
Never mind, they will have rooms for him and his kind at the FEMA camps. Even free transportation.
He can do Just Because Boxcars are Rolling.
I remember reading a book by a missionary in Alaskan wilds, "Good Broth To Warm Our Bones" I think it was called. He described a very well-made cabin in which he had to keep a hammer handy because the air was so cold it caused the nails to back out of the wood in the walls. Brrrr!

Now we are ruled by people who think of themselves as artists and aren't. As a great Englishman said, over-civilization and barbarism are within an inch of one another. We are at that crossroad.
